Most Bluetooth speakers are great until you ask them to do “living room” duty, and then they start sounding small, thin, or harsh when you turn them up. The Marshall Woburn III is built for the opposite problem: filling a space with sound that still feels controlled. It’s down to $499.99, saving you $100 off the $599.99 compared value. If you want one speaker you can use for music, movies, and casual listening without building a full component system, this deal lands in the sweet spot.
What you’re getting
Think of the Woburn III as a home speaker that happens to have Bluetooth, not a Bluetooth speaker pretending to be home audio. You get physical knobs for volume, bass, and treble, which makes it easy to adjust on the fly depending on what you’re listening to: more warmth for background playlists, more clarity for podcasts, or a little extra low end for party volume.
Connections are a big part of why this model stands out. Alongside wireless playback, it includes 3.5mm auxiliary, RCA, and HDMI inputs. That opens up a lot of simple setups: a turntable-friendly option (with the right supporting gear), a straightforward TV audio upgrade, or a “plug anything in” speaker for devices you don’t want to pair every time.
Why it’s worth it
This deal is most useful for people who want fewer boxes and fewer decisions. Instead of a soundbar plus a separate music speaker (or a receiver setup), the Woburn III can act as the centerpiece for the room. The HDMI input is a truly underrated feature here because if you’re using it with a TV, it’s a cleaner daily experience than constantly reconnecting Bluetooth.
The other win is usability. The tactile controls make it feel like a piece of equipment you interact with, not an app you troubleshoot. That matters when you just want to hit play, tweak the sound, and move on with your night.
The bottom line
At $499.99, the Marshall Woburn III is a really good value if you want one premium home speaker that can handle music and TV audio, with easy physical controls and flexible inputs. If you’re chasing true surround sound or whole-home multiroom features, you’ll want a different route. But for a simple, big-sound centerpiece speaker, this discount makes it a great time to buy.
